"The Soul of the Rose" is an oil painting by the British Pre-Raphaelite artist John William Waterhouse, completed in 1908. This work is often celebrated for its romantic and aesthetic qualities, embodying the Pre-Raphaelite movement's fascination with medievalism, nature, and sensuality. The painting depicts a young woman in a moment of private contemplation, inhaling the scent of a blooming rose. The title of the painting is a reference to Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem "Maud," in which the protagonist speaks of the soul-stirring experience of smelling a rose.

Waterhouse's subject is portrayed in profile against a lush garden backdrop, her attire and the setting evoking an idealized, bygone era. The intricate detail with which Waterhouse renders the rose and the garden reflects the Pre-Raphaelites' commitment to naturalism and their rejection of the mechanistic approach to art that characterized the Industrial Revolution. The use of rich, vibrant colors and the intimate portrayal of the subject's sensory engagement with the flower create a sense of immediacy and emotional depth.

"The Soul of the Rose" is considered one of Waterhouse's most iconic works, encapsulating his unique blend of classical mythology, literary references, and Pre-Raphaelite aesthetics. The painting is a testament to Waterhouse's skill in capturing the beauty of both the human form and the natural world, as well as his ability to convey complex emotional states through visual art. It continues to be admired for its technical mastery and its evocative portrayal of romantic and mystical themes.
